.@aldotcom was awarded two Pulitzer Prizes today, one for a year’s effort exposing and stopping a predatory police force and a second for a year-long exploration of how the myths Alabama tells itself about the past still shape the state today. https://t.co/0HlfeaVgKl

That's like one story a day, y'all!!
We cover the gamut - from troubles to triumphs - always working to bring readers the stories of our children and the grownups who educate and inspire them.
Our children are our future, Alabama. They deserve the best we can do, always.
We announced today we are shifting to all-digital delivery of news in Alabama. We’ll stop printing The Birmingham News, Huntsville Times, Press-Register in 2023 and focus on growing @aldotcom and other digital brands

@aldotcom wanted to make sure Alabama's Spanish-speaking readers can learn more about Russellville schools' efforts, so we partnered with Birmingham’s Latino News to produce a Spanish language version of reporter @greezbock's story.

Brittany Smith said she shot & killed her rapist in self defense. Then Alabama prosecuted her for murder. Check out the trailer for @Tripod_media’s documentary, out on @netflix Nov. 10. I’m so proud to be a voice in this! @lizflock https://t.co/OkSwEcSp3j

A new @aldotcom team will bring you more in-depth reporting about the issues that matter to you, more local investigative reporting where you live and more local journalists in Alabama. https://t.co/0K566bvxEp
It's hard to staff schools right now. The latest story in our series "Tackling Teacher Shortages" explores how many states are adjusting qualification and certification standards -- and what that might mean for children.
What's happening in Alabama and the South?
